i just realized the case i have now sucks so much i cant even mount it like suggested above, i would have to rest it either on the bottom of the case or on the bottom of the 5.25" bays, idk if its safe to rest it directly on the case or i should have something in between

like just mount half of it? let the other half hang? is that safe to do?

Yes. It is light, not affected by reasonable shock, and you're using metal screws.

so it wont be affected just sitting on the case? this is temporary as my new case should be arriving in the next couple of days. is there any chance of me shorting it? how would i prevent such shorting of the ssd?

No, like others have said its got no moving parts, so certainly not for short term would anything be damaged. I was going to suggest what smoking waffle said, something like double sided tape stick it to inside of your pc case, thats as good as properly mounting it with a 2.5/3.5" drive bay for me
